There is a wonderful brash fearlessness in this shot! To photograph an architectural masterpiece alone, then to also consider that it has likely been the subject of the best photographers of our age time and again, one might be forgiven for shying away from the challenge. Congratulations on accepting the challenge and more than rising to the occasion. I feel the same about your foto of the Brighton Beach pier!

You give me confidence to tackle similarly momentous subjects when I encounter them. For this, I thank you!
